Achilles tendon is a vital organ, which enables persons to move (walk, run, climb, crawl, jump etc.). As such it is very rarely a subject of research, significantly less than the muscular system. We have established that the thickness of the Achilles tendon depends on the thickness of the tibial muscles and the muscle fibre pennation angle. It is interesting that the growth of the tibial muscle is mostly stimulated by the gastrocnemius muscle, meaning that it stimulates the muscles activation, namely the motor/sports activity of standing.

BMP of climbing, despite extremely positive impacts on the motor development of children, is one of the most neglected EGVs. Partial results of 2010 project show that the number of children, who were unable to perform their climbing tasks, decreased to 5% (in 2009 – 10%). Children's climbing times in various climbing tasks improved by 27% to 44%. In order to obtain a more accurate insight in muscle activation, we additionally used the EMG method in climbing tasks, namely on selected muscles of 20 children, in order to attain a more effective study of climbing BMP in children.
